Default When it rains it pours

I am quickly approaching the 100 thous mark on the odometer and it would seem its hitting the fan,

biggest problem is my passenger window is stuck open, its an electric window on an 89 lx, anyone else have this problem come up nd what was causing it/what was the solution, happened the other night but after driving around it worked fine, yesterday it started to pour and it wouldnt go up at all and still hasnt

my t-5 feeling funny to now, takes a little xtra force/time to get it into 2nd, and 3rd and sometimes first is a pain, seems to work better if i double clutch
should i look into a tranny oil change, or do they do tranny tune ups on sticks?

thank you,

If your window wont go up, take off the door panel and find the wind motor. Witht the car on try and roll up the window while hitting the motor with a rubber mallet or hammer. It should start moving. This is only a temp. fix. sounds like the motors gonna die but this will by you time. I just replaced my motor a month ago.

or you may just need to adjust the clutch cable.

Make sure ur tranny fluid is full, it makes quite a difference, did on mine at least.

could it still be the switch if i can see it drawing on the altometer,
what im saying is if i hold the 'up' on my switch for tht window i can see the altometer drop a small amount as it always has, would that be an indication that the switch was working,
